Return of the Mac!

Good morning my lovely blog chums, and what a cold, foggy morning this is! Not too much planned for the day, as Alistair will be back from his trip to Scotland this afternoon...I may drop in on a Winter Fayre nearby this morning.

I am here, today with a little bit of inspiration for both of the current CUTIE CHALLENGES

The Cutie Pie challenge,  where our theme is

Add An Animal (this challenge runs until Monday lunch, so you'll need to be quick)

And

Christmas with the Cuties, where our theme is

Show Us Your Santa Hats

The adorable Mac, was always one of my favourite images from DigiStamp boutique.....not least because he looks sooo much like my boys! I have used ProMarkers to colour, and have cut with a faux stitched square. I kept the design fairly simple, I love red and kraft together so added an  off cut of polka dot paper. The sentiment is a magazine freebie embossing folder, finished with a couple of enamel gumdrops from YNS.

I would like to enter these challenges:

Crimbo Crackers - challenge198 animals
abc christmas challenge W is for wreath/ X is for faux
fab n funky challenges challenge 459 christmas
the holly and ivy christmas challenge 61 anything christmas goes
crafty catz weekly challenge 485 A.G with optional CAS

We all like to dabble in other craft activities from time to time, I recently got a packet of Air Dry clay to do just that! I have been enjoying making a few Christmas decorations and fully intend to do more of this.....just wanted to share a few photos of my makes, so far......
